Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Reviewers:
Kaylana - ^^ Hi, first reviewer! I am sure I'll just keep Miroku human, so I don't confuse myself. I do that easily. At first, Miroku is going to be a little off-beat. He's going to be all rude and stuff. But soon he'll be his normal perverted self! ^^
If I missed any reviewers, I'll get you in the next chapter.
~*~
"Who are you?" Sango added.
"Destroy her just as easily as you did me, Yukiko." Miroku stated.
" 'Yukiko'? Whoa, whoa, whoa! My name is-"
Sango was cut off when Miroku said, "She's coming."
"What?" Sango asked.
Miroku kept his relatively calm look as Mistress Centipede picked Sango up.
A few spears hit Mistress Centipede, 'causing her to drop Sango.
"'Tis time! Draw!" Kaede yelled.
Arrows and spears shot at Mistress Centipede.
Sango was breathing heavily and looking back at Mistress Centipede. "I'm...I'm saved."
"Really, Yukiko, I'm disappointed." Miroku said sarcastically.
"Listen, you-" Sango shouted in anger. She stood up and pointed at Miroku. "I don't know who the Hell Yukiko is, but I am not her! So shove it!"
Miroku growled. "Do you expect me to believe that I wouldn't know the aura of the girl who-" He stopped after getting a good look at Sango's face. "Hmm...you're not her."
"Get it now?! My name's Sango! S-A-N-G-O!" Sango yelled in Miroku's face.
"I'm a fool. After all, Yukiko looked intelligent, and much more beautiful than you." Miroku stated.
Sango growled in anger. "You-" She stopped when a villager was thrown down behind her. Mistress Centipede grabbed Sango and tried to pull her away, but Sango grabbed onto Miroku's shoulders tightly.
"Let me go!!!" Sango shouted back at Mistress Centipede.
Miroku, though not showing it on his face, was in slight pain from the pressure Sango put on his shoulders. "YOU LET ME GO!"
"Kaede-sama! Miroku is..." A villager said.
"Miroku is awake?!" Kaede exclaimed. "That spell was meant never to break, but it has! How?!
"This body is so weak." Mistress Centipede snarled. "I will devour you whole, Shikon no Tama and all!"
Sango's eyes widened as she let go of Miroku's shoulders in shock.
"The Shikon no Tama?!" Miroku questioned.
Sango shoved her hand into Mistress Centipede's face. "GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"
Mistress Centipede flew back.
"Look on 'er!" A villager shouted.
'This happened in the well, too.' Sango thought. 'How do I keep doing this?!'
Mistress Centipede flew forward again. "Vile thing!!!" She picked Sango up with her mouth. After ripping Sango's side, she dropped her. Blood came from Sango's side, and a jewel flew out.
"What?!" A villager exclaimed.
"Something came out of her!" Another shouted.
"The Shikon no Tama!" Kaede exclaimed.
Miroku stared.
Sango groaned. She was lying on her stomach, looking weakly at the jewel lying in front of her. She reached for the Shikon no Tama. So close...
"I knew, I knew, I knew you were hiding it!" Mistress Centipede shrieked. "That jewel is mine!!!"
"What?" Sango said, looking at Mistress Centipede, momentarily forgetting about the Shikon no Tama.
"GIVE THE JEWEL TO ME, GIRL!" Miroku shouted at Sango.
Sango looked back at the jewel and was about to grab it when Mistress Centipede's body pulled her to the tree Miroku was pinned to.
Mistress Centipede wrapped her body around the tree, slowly trying to suffocate them.
Miroku didn't seem all too disturbed, but Sango was upset for she was pushed against a man and she was slowly loosing air.
Mistress Centipede laughed while speaking to Miroku. "Miroku, the troublesome monk who seeks the Shikon no Tama. I have heard of you. At last we meet."
'Monk?' Sango thought. 'Him? Yeah, right!'
"Shove it. If I'd wanted, our meeting would've been cut short." Miroku stated.
"Hey! You talk all tough, but what can you do?! Is your bark worse than your bite?" Sango asked.
Miroku looked down at her with an annoyed expression.
"You can't move, can you, monk?" Mistress Centipede asked. "That's quite a spell you're under. All you can do now, is watch." She then brought her head down to the ground and picked up the Shikon no Tama with her tongue.
"No! It's mine!" Miroku shouted.
Mistress Centipede swallowed the jewel.
"She's eaten the magic bead, she has!" Someone shouted.
"This cannot be..." Kaede said.
"What ill does it bode, m'lady?" A villager asked.
"N-no! She's healing!" Sango exclaimed as the 'owies' Mistress Centipede got started to heal.
Then Mistress Centipede's outer skin fell off, revealing a more disgusting and ugly creature. "Such power! Such joy!"
'She's happy about that?!' Sango thought in disgust.
Mistress Centipede's body, which was still wrapped around the tree, Sango, and Miroku, tightened.
Sango shut her eyes tightly. 'I'm going to die here!'
"Hey." Miroku said calmly. "This arrow..."
Sango looked up.
"Pull it out." Miroku ordered.
Sango reached for it.
"You must not! That arrow contains a spell! You must not set him free!" Kaede shrieked.
"And what do you want, babaa? To become a centipede's desert?!" Miroku shouted. "Once that thing's body has digested the Shikon no Tama, all of us will die! So, girl, do you want to die here with me?!" He looked down at Sango.
"No! I won't die in this fucking Hell!" Sango shouted. She grabbed the arrow and pulled it out. The arrow disappeared.
"The arrow! It vanished!"
Kaede had a shocked and horrified look on her face.
Miroku smirked. He let out a blast of energy, which sent Sango and the boomerang flying, the branches wrapped around him ripped apart, and Mistress Centipede's body went flying.
Miroku landed on his feet, clutching his staff tightly.
"You, child!" Mistress Centipede shouted as she rushed at Miroku.
"I'M OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE YOU ON, BABAA!" Miroku shouted as he lunged at Mistress Centipede, his staff ready.
Miroku easily pulled his staff right through her body. The staff let out some kind of blast, which ripped her to shreds.
"A SINGLE STROKE?!" A villager yelled in shock.
Miroku landed on his feet, a smirk planted on his face.
'I had no idea he could do something like that.' Sango thought in shock. She then noticed Mistress Centipede's body parts were still moving. "IT'S STILL ALIVE?!"
Kaede rushed over to Sango. "Can you see a place where the flesh glows?! The Shikon no Tama must be burning inside her!"
"But..." Sango said.
"Unless you remove the jewel, her body will resurrect itself through time without end!" Kaede shouted.
"What do you mean?! Unless I remove it?!" Sango exclaimed, though she got on her hands and knees and started crawling through the remains looking for a glowing piece of flesh. Then she spotted it. "I see it!"
Sango and Kaede rushed over, and Sango pulled the Shikon no Tama out of the flesh.
"You're telling me that this stupid jewel gives power to youkai?" Sango asked.
"And people who know how to use it! Now give me the jewel! Unless you'd rather feel my staff ripping through your body." Miroku said.
"What?!" Sango asked, alarmed.
"I'll make it simple for a girl with such a small brain." Miroku stated.
Sango fumed.
"Give me the jewel, or die."
"No, Sango! You must not let him have it!" Kaede said.
Sango clutched the jewel to her chest while glaring at Miroku. "Listen, buster!" She shouted. "You can shove your words right up your ass!" (Woot- woot! Go, Sango!)
Villagers stared at the brave young girl.
"Do you think I'm too nice, little girl?!" Miroku shouted. He lunged at Sango with his staff. "NOT WHEN YOUR AURA IS THE SAME AS THE WOMAN WHO KILLED ME!!!"
Sango dodged just in time.
Miroku landed on his feet. "Next time, I'll cut you in half."
"Hey!" Sango cried. "You're really trying to hurt me, aren't you?!"
"Kaede-sama! Me-thinks..." One villager said.
"We'd have preferred the giant centipede after all!" Another finished.
Kaede sighed. "Of, me...'tis ever thus." She pulled prayer beads out of no where. "I am ringed by fools."
Miroku jumped at Sango. "Now, die!"
"FORGET IT!" Sango exclaimed, and jumped behind a tree, letting Miroku cut the tree in half.
Sango fell, though, and dropped the Shikon no Tama. She put her hand over it, and was just about to grab it...
Miroku was falling from the air at a fast rate. "YOU'RE DEAD!" He shouted. Sango looked up frantically.
Kaede threw the prayer beads in her hand, right around Miroku's neck.
Miroku was so surprised with this, that Sango was able to roll to the side and he landed right next to her.
"Sango! Utter a subduing spell!" Kaede shouted.
"A subduing spell?!" Sango shrieked as she stood.
"It matters not which! Any word to subdue him!" Kaede shouted.
Sango was panicking. She was slowly backing away from Miroku. "But, I don't know any!!!"
Miroku laughed suddenly. "You? A puny girl? Subdue me?! Don't make me laugh!" He jumped back then lunged at Sango.
Sango tripped over the giant boomerang that had went flying early.
This made it all the much easier for Miroku.
Sango frantically called out, "SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!"
Miroku went flying to the ground right in front of her. SPLAT.
"By 'sit' he was subdued!?" A villager shouted.
Kaede nodded.
Miroku had a shocked look on his face. As soon as he was able to sit up, he did, and tried to pull the prayer beads off after putting his staff down. "What?! What in the Hell?!"
Sango sat up.
"Spare your strength, Miroku. Not all your power will lift those prayer- beads from your neck." Kaede said.
Miroku growled in anger as he looked at Kaede. "You!" He lunged at her, fist extended.
"Do your stuff." Kaede said calmly.
"Sit, boy!" Sango said.
SPLAT. Down went Miroku.
"You may all return to the villager. The show is over." Kaede said.
Sango stared at Miroku. 'This is fun!' She turned around to look at the boomerang. She slowly bent down and picked it up.
~*~ Back in the Village - Kaede's Hut ~*~
Kaede was wrapping up the wound on Sango's side. "Here, let me see that wound. Some healing herbs should take care of it. But what a place we're left in, eh? Now that the Shikon no Tama has appeared again in this world..."
Miroku was leaning against the wall, watching the females with little interest. His staff was next to him.
"Oww..."
"The evil beings who desire its power will soon be flocking here." Kaede said.
"Monsters, you mean?" Sango asked.
"Not only monsters. But also men who are sometimes worse." Kaede stated. "In this era of war and chaos, the powers of the Shikon no Tama can make any ambition a reality."
Sango looked to Miroku. "So why do you want the Shikon no Tama?! You're strong!"
Miroku glanced at her.
"Look at his hand. The wrapping and beads around it is a seal. He has a black hole, a wind tunnel, in his hand. It will suck all up. One day, if it doesn't go away, it will suck him up as well. The Shikon no Tama can heal that." Kaede stated. (I know, I know, Naraku put the wind tunnel in Miroku's hand. Just go with me here, people.)
Miroku growled and slammed his fist into the floor, breaking it.
Sango jumped slightly and Kaede remained calm.
"Babaa! You've been acting like you know me!" Miroku shouted. "WHAT THE HELL IS UP?!"
"Then you really don't know?" Kaede asked. "You don't know Kaede, the little sister of the woman who enchanted you?"
"Kaede?" Miroku repeated.
Kaede nodded. "It's been 50 years, and some of us grow older." (Miroku hasn't grown older because the arrow kept him young, for some reason.)
Miroku scratched his head in thought. "You were that little brat? Then Yukiko must be even more withered than you! What a bore you people are!"
"My elder sister is dead." Kaede said.
That seemed to get his attention a little bit.
"The same day she put the spell on you, she died." Kaede said.
"Ho. Is that right?" Miroku asked with a small smile, his eyes shut. He then opened his eyes, an evil smirk coming on his face. "The fucking girl kicked the bucket? Well, nice to hear some good news."
"I wouldn't start celebrating yet, Miroku." Kaede said. "There is the matter of reincarnation. Don't you agree, Sango?"
Miroku seemed to be interested.
"Your outward likeness, and the Shikon no Tama hidden within your body. What other answer is there?" Kaede said. "You were born to protect that jewel."
'You've got to be kidding.' Sango thought.
"Why do you think you took the boomerang? It is Hiraikotsu, the boomerang Yukiko used to slay youkai."
~*~
"They call her Yukiko-sama reborn!" A village lady said.
"She does have a regal bearin', now that I look." An old man said.
Sango, who now has Hiraikotsu strapped to her back, looked back at the people then gasped slightly as she realized they had started praying to her. She quickly ran off to a tree, where Miroku was sitting in one of the higher branches. (He left his staff back at Kaede's.)
'That *twit* is Yukiko?' Miroku thought.
Sango took a tomato from the bag she was holding and pegged it at Miroku.
Miroku caught it and looked down at her. "Eh?"
"That's part of your share! Now get down here!" Sango shouted.
"Where'd you get all that food?" Miroku inquired.
"The villagers gave it to me." Sango said. "Now get down here. We'll share it."
Miroku seemed to hesitate before climbing down the tree.
Sango sat down, smiling.
Miroku sat down beside her. "What are you planning, girl?"
Sango put down the food between them. "Nothing. Just. You...you hate me, don't you?"
Miroku leaned in closer to Sango and said simply, "You make me sick."
"Listen you! I'm Sango! Not Yukiko!" Sango shouted. She calmed down. "So can't we be a little friendlier? Please?"
"What? Do you think I'm a fool?" Miroku questioned. "I don't care who you are! I won't show you any mercy when it's time to take the Shikon no Tama!" He stood.
"Oh really." Sango said. "Well, if you show me mercy or not, oh great one (that was sarcastic), if I say 'sit'..."
SPLAT. Miroku met dirt.
Dirt, Miroku.
Miroku, dirt.
"Oh, sorry! I didn't mean it, really!" Sango exclaimed.
~*~
Princess Kat: I think that's a good place to end it. Sorry, Kaylana, that Miroku is very off-beat in this chapter. But I'll try to make him more in- character soon.
Also, I don't care what his staff-a-mi-jigger can and can't do, I am making it's own power for it! Thank you. I thought I'd mention that before anyone said anything.
Review! ^^

Also, I don't care what his staff-a-mi-jigger can and can't do, I am making it's own power for it! Thank you. I thought I'd mention that before anyone said anything.
Review! ^^
